In recent days, social media has been ablaze with discussions over a screenshot posted by the blogger RUMANI on the platform X. This image, originating from the Instagram account of RUMANI, depicted the DA leader John Steenhuisen with their complexion altered to a darker tone.

This alteration has been suggested to criticize the politician's perceived lack of awareness and understanding of the issues affecting their constituents, leading to substantial public backlash. However, the response from the social media platform X to this screenshot has stirred even more controversy. Instead of objectively reviewing the situation, the platform chose to block RUMANI's account, a move many saw as a violation of freedom of speech.

Formerly known as Twitter, the platform X is now being flooded with an increasing number of messages expressing dissatisfaction with the politician's behavior and supporting the fight against racism. Social media users accuse the Democratic Alliance of racism, pointing out that most of the party's leadership is comprised of white individuals.
